Shearling was a huge trend for AW15 and it’s popularity isn't set to diminish any time soon. As we move forward into SS16, the only difference is that there’s a distinctly more rock edge to proceedings now. We like to think that luxury is something tangible, something that you can feel in an incredible quality leather that is soft like butter or a wool shearling that is like silk to the touch and super-warm against our skin.

The Shearling Collar Jacket from Armani Collezioni combines two of our favourite fabrics – wool and leather – in a perfect union. If you’re looking for masculine outerwear for the winter ahead, and plenty of winters beyond, this could fit the bill perfectly. Slick, sleek black, lined with thick shearling that spills over onto collar and cuffs; leather never goes out of fashion and this investment piece will look just as good tomorrow, as it will in ten years’ time.
